Tlie Society wishes at this time to again announce the date of its picniL which will be Sunday, June 21. C^o- tumbus organizations are asked to keep this date open.
On Sunday evening (tomorrow), at 8:00 o'clock thc Young Judca of the Broad St. Temple will present an eve¬ ning of excellent entertainment to the public. The play, "Purim Hi-Jinx", by the combined efforts of the cast and Afiss Leah Metchnik, is bound to produce laughter from the audience that will rock the walls.' Those in the play are Ahasueras, Irving Sil¬ verman; Jestet-, Al Fleischer; Either. Dorothy Krako^; Mordecai, Abe Thall; Ilaman, Lloyd Bornstein; Vashti, Adella Peer; Zeresh, Sylvia Nadler; Chamberlain, Leonard Aaron. Beatrice Nason and Annette Zalk will also partici]iatc. Roselyn Bonowitz is in charge of properties and costumes
The story of the play is the cus¬ tomary one of Purim. However, dif¬ fering from most Purim plays, it is entirely modern. Ahasueras is a gigolo play-boy, Esttier is sophisticated but coy, Haman is a regular "dog", while his wife, Zcresh, is a gold-digger with a bit of Mac West in her. The droll Jester and "You mean it" Mordecai is bound to bring laughs frorn every¬ one. Altogether this should be one of the funniest plays ever prcsente<l by this group.

I have been in Winnipeg; I have been in New Orleans; I have been in San Francisco nnd Albuquerque and hack again in the great cities of the Middle West: Cleveland and Mil¬ waukee and Detroit. Then 1 turned South again and visited cities in Vir¬ ginia and the Curolinas and went as far as Florida. Jews near the Arc¬ tic; Jews on the shores of thc Pa¬ cific; Jews who watch sunrise and sunset over the Atlantic ocean and the gulf of Mexico. In my mind I add these Jews to the Jews whom I have met aud lived with in Berlin and thc Sahara desert, in Jerusalem and Tu¬ nis and Algiers, in Vienna and Prague aud Paris and Venice. Who says we,arc not a people? Someone who doesn't know his Jews. Every¬ where the .same characters, problems, reactions, ^dreams, fears, aspirations— extraordinary unity within thib rich and often staggering diversity. A people aud ui>on the whole, at least to me, a people not only, despite our dis¬ asters and divisions and insufficien¬ cies, with a touch of greatness but with something else and ^something more—an abundance of goodnebs and an abundance of veracity.

1 say: at least to me. Yet it should hc so to every observer, to every right observer. For no observation is right, no obbcrvation is tolerable whicli is not based on love. Even tht: great heathens have known that. Remem¬ ber your Nietzsche: "Wo du nicht lichen kannst du geh vorhci," "Where thou canst not love—pass by!" (This saying, by the way, proves, t£ any proof were needed, what coarse and brutish louts thc Nazis are even by the standards of tlic great men auiojig the heathens.) Well, I love the Jew¬ ish people—thc whole Jewish people, even frightened die-hard assiniilation- ists.-- I feel with their feelings and understand their fears and share their aspirations. I love their physiog¬ nomies and their jokei; their ways of . eating and drinking; I am glad to live with them and pray with them (pref¬ erably if I may choose according to the unspoiled traditional liturgy) and die with tlicm-
And so I have the right to make report.
The Jewi of America are deeply shaken. They are deeply troubled. They do not carry their hearts on their sleeves. They j,okc; tbey de¬ bate ; thcy negate their own feelings very often in order to be either com¬ forted or confirmed. But they are shaken. And not least shaken are ttioac who cling with a desperate last tenacity to outworn ways and ex¬ ploded viewpoints and impossible compromises. The divisions among us today are far more superficial than real. This scattered, disunited, squabbling, disputing mass of human beings is ready—despite all api>ear- ances to the contrary—to be welded into a moral unity for its own de¬ fense and its own sustaining and a better and more self-resi>ecting co¬ operation with its fellow Americans. It is ready. It is waiting not for the magic word that shall achieve its in¬ tegration from a mob into an or¬ ganism. Consciously or unconsciously it knows the word. It is waiting for the uttering of the word of redemp¬ tion by those who are persuasive and trustworthy, by leaders in whom it can have faith, Aud it is so willing to have faith; it is so willing to hear and to believe. And only the leaders and the Icaderblnp arc lacking. No, not lacking. But the Icatlers are too few aud too sparsely placed and too hurried and overburdened and too pre<iccupie<l (of necessity, alas) with inmiuliate cares and problems that need an immediate and practical an¬ swer. And so, in the great saying of Milton, thc sheep are left unfed, tlieir bouls are left unfed. Tliey are waiting for nourishment. Their hun¬ ger is upon their very faces and in their very eyes. And few or none have time or strength to stay and feed the sheep of the honse of Israel.
I hasten to say that this constitntes no criticism of the American Rab¬ binate either Reform'or Conservative. No inference drawn from my obser¬ vation is surer than this, that the men iCottlittued on page 2)
Peace Play Presentation by . Hillel Players Is En¬ joyed by Many
"Don't miss 'Pathb of Glory'" was the word passed around on the campus Friday, following the first perforrnaiiccL of that play by Hillel Players to a large audience Thursday night. Another performance of Sid¬ ney Howard's dramatic and powerful I>eace play is scheduled for this eve¬ ning (Saturday) at 8:15 o'clock at University chaiiel.
Though divided into sixteen scenes, the production stepped along at a si>eedy pace with the guaranteed 'Tivc second scene changes" coming as pre¬ dicted.
A story which shows no humane¬ ness in war, this play depicted a situ¬ ation in France when three innocent men were sentenced to death for mu tiny because a general had not been successful in an attack.

In presenting the peace award to Mrs. Sternberger, Mr. Matz stated that the award was ma<le in recognition of thc many years of her life she has devoted to "rendering inestimable servico in the cause of world i>cace," In accepting, Mrs. * Sternberger said tliat the award was "a summons to keep thc stream 0! Anicrican life trtie to its destined course. The spirit of
slaib of the performance, because the large cast, performed so well, each iiiP^'"c^ica," she said, "is above all else thcir parts, that such a task is next to the spirit of democracy and every man impossible. Leading roles, however, or woman who applauds thc iron fist were played by Jerry Schwartz, Bob P" t'^e political and economic life of Schwachter, Willie Gomberg, Bob this country is an enemy of democ- JatTe, James Skclton, and. Lew Sisk.
A large audience turned out for the performance, and it is hoped that other peace and dramatic lovers will be on hand, Saturday evening.
Credit must bc given to Martin H. Rubiti, the dircctorf Eduard Goodman and Bob Leavitt, ticket managers, and Sidney Grau and Ben Klein for their fine work.

racy." In a stirring appeal for peace she said: "Let us defy those who would erect barriers and separate us from men of good will in every other region of the world. Let us, reject every bhort cut to the psychology of nations that is saturated with malice. Every section of the globe bas its millions of men and women who are ready to make common cause with ns if we will only extend the hand of friendship."
Dr. Finley, in presenting the award to former High Commissioner Mc¬ Donald said that "he is proud as an- American" to honor another Ameri¬ can who has done so much "to brighten a page of modern history that is one of the darkest in the his¬ tory of the world." Hc called, the former High Commissioner's work a prophecy of what thc nations of the world would conic to in time.
In his reading of the literature cita¬ tion which he presented to Mr. Hueksch, in the absence of Mr. Wer¬ fel, Professor Cohen called Werfel "a literary artist of the first order" and one who, like Mr. McDonald and Afrs. Sternberger, has always devoted his talents to the causes of peace and humanity. In another address former Judge Jeremiah T. Mahoney, the for¬ mer A. A. U. president who led the fight ag<iinst .American participation iu the Olympics, rejoiced in the part he played in the fight and reiterated his faith that the qhestion of partici¬ pation was not a "racial or religious question but a question of humanity. Incidents that have happened in Ger¬ many since then," he said, "have vin¬ dicated my stand."

Two Jews Killdd in New Anli-{ Semitic Riot in Poland j
WARSAW (WNS)—At thc very moment when a govcrument .>;pokcs- man was telling iiarliamcnt that the anti-Semitic Natioi rtl Democrats were deliberately inciting pogroms through¬ out Poland in order to discredit thc govcrnnient, a ncW outbreak of anti- Semitic violence inithe town of Prsy- tyk, Radotu district, took the lives of two Jews and caused serious injuries to at least 50 others. An armed mob of fanatic peasants started thc dis¬ turbance when it invaded the Jewish ([itarter.

1 say: at least to me. Yet it should hc so to every observer, to every right observer. For no observation is right, no obbcrvation is tolerable whicli is not based on love. Even tht: great heathens have known that. Remem¬ ber your Nietzsche: "Wo du nicht lichen kannst du geh vorhci," "Where thou canst not love—pass by!" (This saying, by the way, proves, t£ any proof were needed, what coarse and brutish louts thc Nazis are even by the standards of tlic great men auiojig the heathens.) Well, I love the Jew¬ ish people—thc whole Jewish people, even frightened die-hard assiniilation- ists.-- I feel with their feelings and understand their fears and share their aspirations. I love their physiog¬ nomies and their jokei; their ways of . eating and drinking; I am glad to live with them and pray with them (pref¬ erably if I may choose according to the unspoiled traditional liturgy) and die with tlicm-
And so I have the right to make report.
The Jewi of America are deeply shaken. They are deeply troubled. They do not carry their hearts on their sleeves. They j,okc; tbey de¬ bate ; thcy negate their own feelings very often in order to be either com¬ forted or confirmed. But they are shaken. And not least shaken are ttioac who cling with a desperate last tenacity to outworn ways and ex¬ ploded viewpoints and impossible compromises. The divisions among us today are far more superficial than real. This scattered, disunited, squabbling, disputing mass of human beings is ready—despite all api>ear- ances to the contrary—to be welded into a moral unity for its own de¬ fense and its own sustaining and a better and more self-resi>ecting co¬ operation with its fellow Americans. It is ready. It is waiting not for the magic word that shall achieve its in¬ tegration from a mob into an or¬ ganism. Consciously or unconsciously it knows the word. It is waiting for the uttering of the word of redemp¬ tion by those who are persuasive and trustworthy, by leaders in whom it can have faith, Aud it is so willing to have faith; it is so willing to hear and to believe. And only the leaders and the Icaderblnp arc lacking. No, not lacking. But the Icatlers are too few aud too sparsely placed and too hurried and overburdened and too preeace play is scheduled for this eve¬ ning (Saturday) at 8:15 o'clock at University chaiiel.
Though divided into sixteen scenes, the production stepped along at a si>eedy pace with the guaranteed 'Tivc second scene changes" coming as pre¬ dicted.
